Well, it doesn't necessarily mean, "running around naked". Take India for example. Or the areas of sub-saharan Africa where Islam is influential esp wrt female attire.

When my father was stationed at a remote SAC base in Morocco, most local women (some had 'gone european') left only their face/eyes & hands exposed when outside, no matter how hot it was & it got really, really hot sometimes. And what they covered up with was NOT light-weight!

IMO, "going native" referred more to adopting local customs/attire w/o necessarily 'stripping down'.

Not that long, I shouldn't imagine. During the colonial period, a common complaint was that somebody in a foreign country was "going native". They'd take up much of the local culture, including habits of dress, or more to the point *un*dress. Kids raised there would be even more likely to do so, despite attempts at "civilized" education.

I do wonder how quickly a population like that - stranded Vilani or Solomani - would change from clothing being absolutely necessary for social reasons to doing without it completely.
